Short Description
LIVE WORKS is structured through multiple creative residency periods offered to the selected projects and views performance as a “workspace,” serving both as tool and as cultural exercise. The specificity of the project lies in a particular focus on hybrid research, with the intention of highlighting the “openness” and fluidity of the performative, its social and political implications and its level of public understandability.
The announcement is open to a wide range of performative actions, also including sound and new media arts, text-based performances, lecture performances, multimedia storytelling, choreographic practices, relational and workshop-based projects, and other projects questioning the idea of performativity beyond the body.
Eligibility
Artists and professionals from any geographic location and with no age limits can enter the announcement, as individuals or in groups, with a single project. The open call only accepts unpublished or long-term projects that need to be developed and/or concluded, for which participation would represent an evolution of the project or its final chapter.
